but the heat is SO intense. that they cam
not get within quarter of mile of il,

down the west side of the bluff. When

CHARLES s. FAIkCHILD
Appointed Secretary of the Treas
ufy by the President.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Presi-
dent to-day signed the commission OF
Charles s. Fairchild, as Secretary of the
Treasury. and Isaac H. Maynard, as As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury.
The officers and many of the clerks of
the department waited npon him early
and extended congratulations. He re-.
ceived profusion of flowers and con-
gratulatory kilograms from all of the
country. A majority of the kilograms
were from banks and business men.
Judge Maynard will not qualify as As.
sistant Secretary before Monday, as he
desires to dispose Of some business now
pending IN the Second Coinptroller's
otfice. In accepting his new office he
will suffer the loss of 500 year in his
salary, and so makes the change at the
personal solicitation of the President
aud Secretary Fairchild, with the latter
of whom he enjoys the closest personal

Mr. Fairchild at once entered upon

public, an employe in the Secretary's
office, and took possession of the office
and desk formerly occupied by ex-Secre'
tary Manning.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Treasury
Depar ment presented an unusual spec
tacle this afternoon. The appointments
of Secretary Fairchild and Assistant
Secretary Maynard caused great rejoic.
ing among the employees, and they ex-
pressed an universal desire to be allowed
to express their congratulations in per-
son. Apparently no promotions were
ever made in the Treasury Department
that met with such general favor among
the employees. The two officials there
fore consented to receive such of
the employees as desired to pay
their respects after the close
OF business. Word to that effect was
sent through the building and by three
o'clock large crowd had congregated
on the corridor opening into the Secre.
tary's office. Mr.. Fairchild was visited
first and then Mr.. Maynard. Crowds
were passing in stream from the room
Of Mr.. Fairchild to the corridor, then
into the room of Mr.. Maynard. Bureau

Japanese Wedding.

The entertainment given by the Y.
w. G. 7. U. last night at Armory Hall
was great success. The title of the
entertainment was self.explanatory,
Japanese Wedding" and attracted
over 700 people. The sight of stage
handsomely decorated with Japanese
bric-a.brac and beautiful young ladies
in Japanese costumes was one calculated
to attract, and the marriage ceremony
was in itself interesting. After the
form of the ceremony had been ex-
planned the curtain rolled up and the
marriage carried out in its original style.
The bride, "Yum. YUM" was imperson.
ated by Miss Ella Richards, and the
groom "Nanki.Poe," by Mr.. Burch.
Mrs. l.. Carter was the "go between"
and was true to nature in her represen.
tation. The brides parents were repre-.
sented by Mr.. Beach Mcdonald and
Miss Simmons, and the groom's parents
by Mr.. E. Brown and Miss E. Goodwin.
The bridesmaids were Miss Rose o.
borne. Miss Nellie Mcdonald, Miss
Edith Oldridge, Miss Mabel Monta.
que, Miss Roda Stevens, Miss
Gertie Finney, Miss Emma Reed,
and Miss Minnie Lapham. The musi.
clans were Miss Edna Davis, Miss May
Mccullough, Miss Eva Howe, Mrs. Day,
Miss M. Feehan and Miss Ella Hitler.
The torch. bearers were Miss Hisey and
Miss Laura Charpock. During the per.
formance Miss Florence Longley sang
japanese song and Miss Maude Reese
sang a selection from the Mikado.
After the performance large portion
of those present remained and partook
of refreshments, served in dainty
manner by maids dressed in Japanese
costumes. Quite large amount of
money was obtained for the benefit of
the news-toys' free night school both
from admission fees and from the re.
freshments. Perhaps the pretty maids
who served them SO charmingly had a
loosening effect on the purse-strings of
the benevolently inclined. The maids
belonged to Mrs. Goodwin's "Band of
Hope" class, and were Miss Flora Pear.
son, Miss Nora Fauts, Miss Alma Payne,
M IS Lottie German, Miss Grace Haven
and Miss Gertie Benning.

CUKRAN,S PENANCE.
A Friend of DIR. McGIynn Pun
ished for His Loyalty

NEW YORK, April The Rev. James
Curran, a stanch friend and former as
sistant of the deposed priest DR.. Nc
Glynn, appeared with the latter at Jones'
proods on St. Patrick's day. For this
he was sent to Ellenvlle, N. Y, to re.
fleet on his contumacy on appearing in
public with a priest in disgrace DR..
Curran did not profit by the hint,
however, and came down on the night
of DR.. Glynn's lecture, and appeared on
the platform with him. For this Curran
has been ordered into solitary retreat at
Hoboken with fasts and penance. for
ten days at the palace of Archbishop
Corrigan. 1t was intimated that the
parishioners of St. Stephen would do well
to take the hint and behave themselves
lest they suffer excommunication. The
punishment of Curran Is taken as evil
dence that Archbishop Corrgan's course
toward DIR. McGlynn has the approval
! ns Rome. The parishioners of st. Ste.
phens are excited over the affair and
propose to hold meetings in DR.. Currans s
support as they have done in DR.. Nc
Glynn's.

SAN FRANCISCO, April I'm the case
of Robert Rogers and Thomas Henry
Ismay VS.. Hermann L. e. Meyer, ad-
ministrator of the estate of Marion
Meyer, deceased, Judge Wallace has
rendered the following important opin.
ion, holding that California wife visit
ing England has the same power while
in that country over her separate prop
erty a-Ne had at home, and that the
English laws cannot deprive her of it;
that the capital stock Of California
CORPORATION cannot be transferred
by compliance with the laws of
foreign countries, but only by pur.
suing the methods prescribed by the
laws of California. The defendant, Her.
mann L. E. Meyer. is the administrator
of her estate, duly appointed, pursuant
to the laws of the State of California,
and as such administrator claims the
custody of the property of the decedent,
that it may be distributed according to
the laws of this State. The plaintiffs, as
trustees under the settlement, claim it
and pray that it may be distributed by
them in England, pursuant to the pro.
visions Of the settlement and according
to the laws of that country. If the dis
tribution be mlde according to the laws
of this State, the surviving husband OF
the decedent would become entitled to
one half thereof and her mother to the
other half, while, should the distrbu-
ton occur pursuant to the settlement
and the English law, the husband of the
decedent would be excluded altogether
aud the whole would 60 to her mother,
as being her next of kin. The estate in
question consists of certain stock of the
Spring Valley Water Company, which
was the property of the decedent. In
the year 1871 the deceased and her hus.
band, at the time sojourning in England,
united in the execution of a deed OF
settlement, prepared in that country,
by the terms OF which the husband
.covenanted for himself and for hlr
as we'll, that the shares Of stock, then
in her possession should be forthwith
transferred to the plaintiffs here, Robert
Rogers and Thomas Henry Ismay, nom.
mated in the settlement, to be trustees
for her benefit, as. under laws of Eng.
land, she was incapable of dealing with
at directly, for herself, in her own name.
The court holds that the plaintiff had
no claim to the custody of the stock and
that it must be delivered to the defend.
ant, as administrator of the estate OF
decedent.
